First Response Erie provides CPR/AED certification for people who need practical emergency-response training for work, school, licensing, coaching, childcare, or personal readiness. Unless you ask for a narrower class, we treat CPR/AED as an all-ages course covering adults, children, and infants.

The course includes recognition of cardiac arrest, high-quality compressions, rescue breaths, AED use, and choking response. HSI describes CPR/AED and First Aid programs as scenario-based training with hands-on skill practice and evaluation.

  • Adult, child, and infant CPR skills
  • AED use and safe shock delivery
  • Choking response for adults, children, and infants
  • Blended learning available for eligible students
  • On-site group training for Erie County organizations

Common CPR/AED students

Not sure which class you need?

If your employer also requires wound care, allergic reaction, bleeding, or illness response, the First Aid certification or CPR/AED + First Aid combo is usually the better fit. Healthcare workers should check whether they need BLS certification instead of standard CPR/AED.
